The emphasis of research investigations is placed on real systems: i.e.,
physically realizable structures and processes. Consequently, the visualization
process embraces both real (acquired) and synthetic (modeled) information
systems. These considerations lead to a number of important and challenging
issues and problems:
<UL>
<LI>How can multidimensional information fields be effectively visualized?
<LI>How can specific information be properly extracted from these
    multidimensional data sets?
<LI>What are appropriate mechanisms for organizing, representing, and analyzing
    the extracted information?
<LI>What mathematical and computational techniques can be used to create
    realistic models of the underlying geometric structures or dynamic
    processes?
<LI>How can these models be manipulated interactively?
<LI>Can visual reasoning mechanisms be formulated computationally to facilitate
    the interpretation of this information?
<LI>How can complex visualization models, or interpretations of these models,
    be communicated easily and unambiguously to someone else?
<LI>What constitutes a good (or better) interactive visualization?
